Another thing-to get a comission in the Marines you must have a college degree. To get to the rank of captain, you must go to grad school. To get to COl. you have to either have, or start to achieve PHD. This guy has been to more schooling than a majority of you.

third--to be a Marine officer past the rank of captain you have to be reccomended by all the officers in your same company (both higher and lower) to get promoted-so obviously he knows what he is doing.

Where the hell did you get this information. You're telling me that Marine Corps Captains and above all have advanced degrees? ...and their colonels are PHDs? I find this hard to believe. No disrespect to the Jarheads who frequent this forum.

My dad is a retired officer of the Army and they had no such requirements.

I highly doubt these kids go through years of college before being sent to war. "congratulations on your promotion, you will now be shipped back to the united states to complete 8 years of schooling, semper fi" oOo:

I am going to the Citadel next year on the Marine college program. I have talked to Professors, Recruiters, OSOs, and NROTC instructors, as well as active/retired Marines (both in person and through internet.). I can hosetly say that the information, from what i have been told by many, Is 99.9% accurate. The process is through "billets" but im not going to take the time to explain it to you.

--The Army does have requirements-to go to either Major or Crnl (I dont know which one) you have to go to War college. A requirement of the War College is at least a Masters Degree.

Same shit happens here, and those assholes get a slap on the wrist.

Yet there we feel it is right to kill them.

I hate when we think we're better than other people, when acts like this prove we definally are not.

My dad taught at the US Army War College at Dickinson College near Carlysle Barricks, PA back in the day. I'll have to ping him on some of this info.

if you guys read the article carefully he doesnt really say anything too offensively. From what i got, hes saying he likes to fight the enemy.

I agree, but any chance to bash Americans or Jews and a simple statement will invariably become:
